Looks like you have to do the head job again
test with a compression test
it could be an air lock in the cooling system
when you did the head gasket did you follow the correct procedure
clean the block face with emery paper '
cleaned out the stud threads in the block with a thread tap
cleaned the stud threads with a wire brush
cleaned out the stud holes with compressed air
had the head machined flat
ensured that all the water holes and oil holes lined up in both the block and the head
fitted the head with out moving it around on the gasket
used never seize on the stud threads
tensioned the head bolts in sequence and in stages at every 15 ft/lbs or 10 degrees as per the workshop manual
if you missed any of the steps in the procedure , then the gasket will not be sealed properly and the correct tension will not be applied

You have an air pocket in the engine block. Over fill the radiator overflow tank when the engine is cold. Run the engine until the engine thermostat opens then shut off the engine. Watch the level in the overflow tank to see if the engine draws coolant back into the engine. If it does, repeat the above steps a few times until the water level no longer draws coolant in when the engine is turned off. If this cannot be accomplished then the Thermostat is stuck closed or the bypass hose is plugged up. Pressure test the radiator cap too. It may not be releasing pressure correctly.

SOURCE: 1995 jeep lalredo 4x4 keeps geting hot

The problem with these jeeps is that the older they get the more clogged the radiator geats.
The radiator in the Cherokees are only a single row of tubes.
You can try to flush out the radiator, but replacing it with a heavy duty type is probably a better option.
Your car is not getting enough flow to cool down the engine.
Also you want to check that the electric fan is coming on. There is a coolant sensor in the radiator.

SOURCE: hi guys! my golf 4 was mixing water nd oil, i hv skimmed my cylinder head, fitted a new gasket and new themostat, radiator is six month old but temperature is normal and the radiator bottle is boiling

Could be too much coolant in the system. Does it run dry on you if you run it for too long? There could also be trapped air in your cooling system which will work itself out with time.

Overflow boiling over

Be sure the air is purged from system. The coolant pipe above the front valve cover near waterpump has a 7mm bleeder screw that will need to be loosened to purge air.

My car smokes from under the hood. When I parked it, it leaks antifreeze. What can I do? I have replaced the head gasked 5 months ago.

You need to find out from where it leaks - the fumes are nothing more than boiled antifreeze. Find the leak (start with the radiator) and fix it.

My 95 yj hard too start after i change my fuel

when it does not start you need to verify no fuel pressure, Most likely your problem is the wiring harness is bad which will destroy a new pump if the pump is not geting the voltage required.

Engine overheating

Hi!
From your brief description it appears you have an air lock or maybe head gasket issues.
I presume/hope that recently you have had something to do with the coolant (Rad change or Thermostat) or maybe let water out to add anti freeze? what is needed is a system bleed.
O.k. when engine cool remove header tank cap (Where you add coolant) have the car on level ground start it up and leave it to idle, have plenty of very warm water available. Hopefully after the engine has reached operating temperature a bubbling and boil over will briefly occur. (Make sure you are well away from Coolant filler) top up the system with the very warm water, wait a good few minutes or more as it will possibly gurgle over again. If after a good while it stops then replace cap and hopefully problem sorted.
If the fault persists you may need to repeat process, If when you are doing this operation the water boils over profusely and a lot of air bubbles are seen all the time when warm the Head gasket may have fractured between cylinders pushing gases into the cooling system causing the air lock and overheating.
Final checks! Is the oil on the dipstick Creamy/Coffee coloured? Has the oil filler got gungy creamy gloppy stuff all over it? Is there oil in the coolant? From the exhaust pipe is there a considerable amount of Water dripping when engine running? and finally do the hoses go very hard become pressurised?
The above point toward Cylinder Head or Gasket failure.
Last thing, could the water pump be faulty? is there any coolant driping from behind it?
Sorry for the Epic!
Hope this helps?

Mazda bongo 2.5 turbo diesel 1996. over heating

no im a mechanic it sounds like that you have an air lock in the cooling system .i am familiar with ford freda and bongo and the design where the engine is is a bit far from the radiator ,so the problem with air locks magnifies.really the solution is just drain the water and refill it slowly while you are pressing and releasing,just repeat the action on the top radiator hose to get rid of any air trapping within the system,it's as simple as that really.you want it to have just water and no air as this will cause a blockage.
